"Timeless" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

The ship stops shaking.

Paris: Captain, the Quantum drive just went off line. We're dropping to impulse.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

TUVOK: Captain. We've lost the Slipstream

 

[LeadHead]

The Delta Flyer and Voyager emerge into normal space. Back on the Delta Flyer...

Chakotay: The slipstream collapsed! We were thrown out right along with Voyager.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: Our comm. system's back up.

[2375 Bridge]

KIM [OC]: Delta Flyer to Voyager. What happened

 

[LeadHead]

Voyager Bridge.

Janeway: You miscalculated, Harry. We entered the exact phase corrections you sent to Seven of Nine. They shut down the Quantum drive.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[2375 Delta Flyer]


KIM: Captain, I didn't send any corrections to Seven of Nine.

 

[LeadHead]

Voyager Bridge

Janeway: She received a message through one of her cranial implants. It wasn't you?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[2375 Delta Flyer]


KIM: No, ma'am.

 

[LeadHead]

Captain's Log, supplemental. Our slipstream flight may have been brief, but it took nearly 10 years off of our journey. I've given the order to dismantle the Quantum drive until the technology can be perfected. Despite the setback, we have a renewed sense of momentum. It no longer seems a question of if we'll get home, but when.

Kim works alone in the mess hall with padds and a desktop viewer. Janeway enters, Kim starts to stand.

Janeway: At ease. Am I interrupting?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: No. I just came here to try to figure things out.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Phase corrections.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: The corrections I sent you were wrong. If you had used them, Voyager would have been heavily damaged, maybe even destroyed. What I can't figure out is who sent the other phase corrections to Seven of Nine.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Looks like we have a guardian angel.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: Oh, I wish I could believe that.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Believe it. His name is Harry Kim.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: Captain?

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Seven found a Starfleet security code embedded in the transmission. Yours.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: I'm telling you, I didn't send it.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Not yet. The transmission had a temporal displacement. We believe it originated from the future. Ten, twenty years from now, we can't be sure.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KIM: Wait a second. If I sent a message from the future and changed the past, then that future would no longer exist, right? So, how could I have sent the message in the first place? Am I making any sense?
